On Saturday 10th March 2018, our Youth Theatre returned to the Godalming Music Festival to defend their title in the Speech and Drama section. This year, they were also accompanied by the Lost for WordsDrama Club, for their début appearance at the festival, at Prior’s Field School, where the festival took place, along with other groups from the surrounding areas.

This year’s competition was incredibly close. The title was “Refugees”, which prompted stunningly powerful performances from all groups involved... See more. with none scoring below 85%! The adjudication from Mia Ball, gave special mention to the particularly dramatic interpretation of Shylock’s speech, which was adapted for this piece and beautifully brought to life with a physical performance devised by our talented students. With a mark of 89% and a distinction, the Lost for WordsYouth Theatre earned their second festival win in the under 18s category and, once again, raised the Godalming Music Festival - Dedman Cup for best overall group performance.

But they were not alone. Competing in the under 12s age group, with a piece entitled “Jumble Sale”, the Lost for WordsDrama Club produced an equally enjoyable and polished performance. They told a story of children raised in a children’s home. With special mention to their lively opening and confident use of space, Mia awarded the class a score of 88% and a distinction, earning them first place in their category and second overall.

Not only was this their first festival win, but it was their first ever festival! and only the second festival for our Youth Theatre. Needless to say teachers Kathie, Sean and Freddie, who run drama classes for children in the Woking area, are once again incredibly proud of all of their students, including those who helped devise the pieces but were unable to make the performance.

Plans to enter future festivals are already underway, please contact us if you’d like to be kept up to date with future performance.

On Saturday 11th March 2017, the Lost for WordsYouth Theatre competed in the Speech and Drama section of this year’s Godalming Music Festival. Groups from surrounding areas came together at Prior’s Field School over the past two weekends to compete within four age groups, adjudicated by Anita Downey.

The standard of all the performances were very high, with no group scoring below 80%, but it was the emotional performance from our youth theatre that really captivated the adjudicator’s imagination. She... See more. awarded our group a mark of 89% earning them a distinction and first place in their age group. Furthermore, that mark placed them first across all four age groups across both weekends earning them the right to take home the Godalming Music Festival - Dedman Cup.

Not only was this their first festival win, but it was their first ever festival! Teacher’s Kathie and Sean who run theatre classes for children in the Woking area, say they couldn’t be more proud of what these young people have been able to achieve. They are looking forward to getting back to teaching, and seeing what they come up with next.
